Everyone knows it, no matter how gifted you are chances of your discovering something important is same as any random guy discovering something equally important, i.e., mostly random.

You limit access to the data, you limit ability of others to make an important discovery. Status quo won't offer free access to this data because it apparently reduces their importance.

Brave on Android Firefox on Desktop (switched from Chrome), new FF is as fast as chrome, plus I love the compact view of FF.

Yes, they can certainly help in cases where you are offering your images to others.

Assuming, initial size is zero. If you install 100MB of packages in layer 1.

It's funny to see that they are not even able to implement an Ebook reader mode. Crowd sourced data to selectively enable/disable JavaScript for invasive/resource hungry websites will save a lot of battery too!

Customer service is a very unrewarding job. First, you've to deal with angry customers then you've to explain yourself and get your answers from the developers who again shout at you or call you out on your mistakes.

2. You initially sold people on this project. That's what got your project enough eyeballs in the first place for you to even consider making it a business.

3. Of course, your acquaintance will not complain - that's precisely the reason they are still with you. As you got upset when people told you of your unfairness. It's such a pity that these days people don't even have friends who can tell them the truth to their face.

4. OSS as requires a certain spirit. The OSS project is being sold on a set of ideas which is exactly opposite of the commercial world - that's why they use and contribute to your product.

5. Maybe you are too poor to be an open source contributor, I suggest getting a job and not expecting to make money by flipping the board. That will get you more fame and respect.

That said, now playing victim will not help you.
